Hooke's Law

Hooke's Law

According to this law, The stress proposed on a body is directly proportional to the Strain.

i.e,  Strain ∝  Stress
Stress =  Constant × Strain
or  Constant  =  Stress
                          Strain

 Thus, Modulus Of Elasticity is defined as the ratio of the stress to the strain.

Please Note:
  • Modulus of elasticity depends on the nature of the material of the body.
  • Modulus of elasticity is independent of dimensions
  • Dimensional Formula of Modulus of Elasticity is  same as that of the stress or pressure (ML⁻¹T⁻²)
